Question

differentiate between Ray and wave please....​

Answer 1

Differentiate between ray and wavefront. A wavefront is defined as a surface of constant phase. A wavefront is the locus of all points in the medium that have the same phase. ... The ray indicates the direction of propagation of wave while the wavefront is the surface of constant phase.

Answer 2

Answer:

WAVE-:

A wave is a disturbance (oscillation)

which transfers the energy. Light is an

example of an electromagnetic wave

where electric and magnetic fields are

oscillating.

Ray-:

Rays are described in a

direction perpendicular to the wavefront

and pointing to the direction of the

energy flow.
